Amusement arcade, St Osyth

In the quaint seaside town of St Osyth, Essex, a rather bizarre and intriguing poltergeist phenomenon was reported at the local Power Up amusement arcade back in 1966. Machines within the arcade were said to spring to life of their own accord, even though they were unplugged. It wasnt just the electronic equipment that was affected, ashtrays would also be found piled up in a strange and unexplained manner. One particularly unsettling incident involved a witness who, while in the toilet, heard someone trying to enter their cubicle - only to find no one was there when they opened the door.

Field off Earls Hall Drive, St Osyth

St Osyth's peaceful village life was disrupted on 26 August 2012 when a rumour spread like wildfire that a lion was on the loose. Residents were told to stay indoors while people at a nearby caravan park were evacuated. The police had been presented with a grainy image of a cat in a field off Earls Hall Drive, which sparked the warning. Helicopters and armed officers searched the area but found nothing. It was later discovered that the 'lion' in question was probably just Teddy Bear, a large domestic cat belonging to a local resident, who was known to bask in the sun in that very field.
